Description
This exquisite 1:500 scale die-cast model represents a Delta Connection Canadair regional jet operated by ASA (Atlantic Southeast Airlines). The model features a distinctive special livery with colorful city skyline graphics along the fuselage in green, orange, and red tones, set against a crisp white base. The Delta Connection branding is prominently displayed, with ASA markings on the dark blue tail. This Herpa Wings production showcases exceptional attention to detail with accurately rendered window lines, wing-mounted engines, and the characteristic T-tail configuration of the Canadair regional jet family.
The Canadair Regional Jet (CRJ) revolutionized regional aviation in the 1990s as one of the first successful regional jets. With a length of 26.77 meters, wingspan of 21.21 meters, and height of 6.30 meters, the CRJ offered airlines an economical alternative to turboprops while maintaining jet speed and passenger comfort. At 1:500 scale, this model measures approximately 5.4 cm in length with a 4.2 cm wingspan, making it a perfect addition to any aviation collection. The CRJ series became a workhorse for regional carriers across North America, connecting smaller communities to major hub airports.
